Was the first to link industrialization with negative environmental effects

In 1895, Arrhenius presented a paper to the Stockholm Physical Society titled, "On the Influence of Carbonic Acid in the Air upon the Temperature of the Ground." This article described an energy budget model that considered the radiative effects of carbon dioxide (carbonic acid) and water vapor on the surface temperature of the Earth, and variations in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.

<quoted text>In what case?!you respond to my response to another poster completely off topic!!what a curious creature you are.chew on this, son. not all scientists fall lock step into the hysteria of the gloom and doomers.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/...

Pssst you don't follow communication here. You are off the wall, on rockers.. bwahahahaha.

Any way, Dr Curry should sue the Telegraph for their false quote.. it seems she never said:uncertainty is getting bigger within the academic community.

Global temperatures have been rising at an alarming rate. In fact, nine of the 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 2000. Were likely getting fewer cold days and more warm ones globally.

Ski areas are feeling it:

In the last 70 years, ski areas in the Swiss Alps have seen a 1525 percent decrease in winter snow. The average snowpack in Washington States Cascade Mountains has declined about 25 percent over the last 60 years. The spring melt season now starts more than two weeks earlier in Colorado than it did in the late 1970s. Along with shorter seasons, skiers in Victoria, Australia have seen the maximum snow depth decline at resorts from 1954 to 2011.

Deniers here are arguing against FACTS. You are losing, of course.

A recent psychological study found that trolls, like Mothra, like ratdownthemuddle,have serious personality defects. They are only here to insult and ridicule, and have no rational arguments.

For the Coal Kings of this world:Mind you some of this ends up on the West Coast of the USA, the old saying about what goes around comes around. Exporting pollution only helped drive climate change faster, this doesn't seem to sink in on those right wing zealots.

Air pollution in China, the world's biggest carbon emitter, has reached intolerable levels and the country should aggressively cut its reliance on coal, according to the National Center for Climate Change Strategy and International Cooperation. China's pollution is at an unbearable stage, Li Junfeng, director general of the state body that advises the government on climate-change issues, said at a conference in Beijing.It's like a smoker who needs to quit smoking at once otherwise he will risk getting lung cancer. China, which currently uses coal for about 65 per cent of its energy, should reduce that ratio by two percentage points per year, according to Li. The comments come as Beijing's air pollution reached eight times levels the World Health Organisation says raise health risks, as smog persisted for a fourth day on Sunday.

(Reuters)- Small volcanic eruptions help explain a hiatus in global warming this century by dimming sunlight and offsetting a rise in emissions of heat-trapping gases to record highs, a study showed on Sunday.

Eruptions of at least 17 volcanoes since 2000, including Nabro in Eritrea, Kasatochi in Alaska and Merapi in Indonesia, ejected sulfur whose sun-blocking effect had been largely ignored until now by climate scientists, it said.

The pace of rising world surface temperatures has slowed since an exceptionally warm 1998, heartening those who doubt that an urgent, trillion-dollar shift to renewable energies from fossil fuels is needed to counter global warming.

Explaining the hiatus could bolster support for a U.N. climate deal, due to be agreed by almost 200 governments at a summit in Paris in late 2015 to avert ever more floods, droughts, heatwaves and rising sea levels.

"This is a complex detective story," said Benjamin Santer of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, lead author of the study in the journal Nature Geoscience that gives the most detailed account yet of the cooling impact of volcanoes.

And the single most important thing you are doing to combat climate change is ....

Hmmmmm?

(besides spreading the word on the internet).

Are you walking to Al Gore speeches? Avoiding driving to sports games? Sold your car perhaps?

Drought has happened before:==========Then there is California's annual rain and snowfall, which go up and down like a yo-yo.

"From a climate perspective, we've been here before," Martin Hoerling, a federal research meteorologist, said last week at a drought forum in Sacramento. "We shouldn't be surprised."

The state dried out like a prune in 1976-77 and before that in 1924, the most parched periods in the modern record. And ancient tree-ring records show that during the last millennium, conditions have at times been even worse.

Take the year 1580, which left the narrowest growth ring  or none at all  in the California trees that University of Arizona scientist David Meko used to reconstruct a 1,000-year history of stream flow in the Sacramento River Basin, the source of much of the state's water supply.

<quoted text>John Christy, the sceptics current champion, says that the settled science is that humans have raised the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, and that causes warming.Can we take it you agree with him on that?

Deniers are liars:

A warming climate is shrinking the Sierra Nevada snowpack that acts as a natural reservoir. And although it is unclear exactly how climate change will affect precipitation levels in California, rising temperatures mean farm fields and suburban yards will dry out more quickly.

"I think that any prudent  fill in the blank  businessperson, governmental official, citizen, farmer would be thinking about how they can use less water" in the future, Hayes said.

Then there is California's annual rain and snowfall, which go up and down like a yo-yo.

So miss out the information about the snowpack and temperatures, and there is nothing to worry about?

Not according to the very article you quote from:

"California is running out of options to deal with the fact that it has basically been relying on more water than it has long-term access to," warned David Hayes, a former U.S. Interior Department official who was the Obama administration's point man on Western water issues during the president's first term.

"It's like reality is closing in on California," Hayes said.

Melting snowpack and increased temperatures due to global warming are going to make things worse.
